Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
就基本上是故技重施吧，从第一部的个人意识觉醒，到这一部的集体意识。好在很欢乐、很好听。
极其适合小朋友看，台词和剧情够简单，小学英语水平，连蒙带猜基本都能懂。至于大人，看不懂就承认自己老了吧。
把法术式三条剖析的清清楚楚，想看黑暗政治故事的要失望了。
想法不错，看的版本翻译太烂了……剧情没啥紧张，看了容易困
照明真的是创作能力最差的电影公司，想的永远是如何把品牌价值吃干榨净，知道你们就喜欢角色，所以剧情随便凑凑就行了，白瞎了如此强大的配音阵容。
首首都嗨爆!jb、碧梨、黄老板、霉霉、萌德 卡妹、水果姐、Drake、Coldplay🎉
虽说是政治还原剧 可是我更愿意把他看成《兹山鱼谱》一类讲辜负的故事。前者是学生不懂为师的用心，后者是王者辜负忠臣之良苦 信任从怀疑开始根植 从提问开始崩塌！我愿意为不落俗套的结尾打五颗星 都说身正不怕影子斜 就是因为想要被灯光环绕 影子才格外清晰 政治如此 职场如是 每个伟光正背后都有影子 只有自己身处黑暗 它才会消失
居然没标记奥！？ 好萌好可爱 当音乐会看啦 不费脑～
还有演员阵容，听着哪个都耳熟，然后一查演员表，恍然大悟。估计没有任何真人电影能找来这样的阵容了吧！
我记得第一部挺好看的，这一部怎么看不下去呢
太陈腐了。同为黑帮二代，不肯下功夫压腿的猩猩可以走捷径，唱跳俱佳外形美丽的小狼念不好台词就直接去演虫子，这不是歌舞剧吗。眼珠子还挺好玩的，两集都是选拔里的其他组更有意思。
跟前作比相差太多，歌还是好听的，依然吃这一套。但是缺少真正能让人共情的音乐，只有一种“为了唱歌而唱歌”的感觉。并且在角色塑造上都挺失败，因为几乎没有塑造，各种转折蜕变都很平庸，整个的沦为了以音乐为花头的普普通通小人物打败大资本的故事，可惜了「SING」的好名声
2022.05.12 精彩，精彩，政治斗争虽血雨腥风，但也让人肾上腺素飙升。楼梯那场戏，真的拍得好，螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，各方势力被吃的死死的。最后，有正义吗？不知道，至少我们都不能投票。
感人。本片又名：王的男人；伪装成政治的罗曼史；this love；影子爱人。
人都要在被岁月打磨后方知处世之道，即便是千古完人曾国藩，年少时也是个愤青。徐昌大在给金云范写信时会夹上一朵小花黄，他称其是毒药，也是解药。
（歌舞没的说，剧情也是真的没的说……

我看的很快乐！既然快乐，就多值一颗星！哈哈 我确实还蛮喜欢蜥蜴🦎独眼大妈的，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈她性格真的好可爱。印象很深的是去环球影城玩的时候看欢乐好声音的舞台剧，考拉问“我们的电路完全没有问题的！”蜥蜴大妈嘟囔着说“这我可不敢保证，毕竟后台的线路板已经烤焦了。”让我笑了很久。
歌还是很好听，整体感觉比第一部稍差点，但也算不错了
听歌就行了。我怀疑片子是在嘲讽制片人花冤枉钱。
